Thanks Spanky, appreciate the info. Will start with 16V supply and measure output to check its within these sorts of ranges.

Thanks for replies. I Believe the M1 has a separate timekeeping processor with a small backup battery in the case of total power failure (guess it would not make sense to have AC based time keeping with the primary power backup being 12v DC battery). Good suggestion on the NTP sync - will...

Yes, not too worried about BS standards :) Was wondering if anyone had experience or guidance on PSU. I assume the board is actually 12v after the AC is rectified, so was wondering about the 14V mentioned. Will probably start with 12V and see how I get on. is is possible to move post to...

Hi Im about to install an ELK M1 in UK and have question about supply power. . Have searched forum etc and found old post from Spanky "...In reality you can power the M1 from a separate DC power supply. Run 13 to 14 volts DC into the battery leads. Run a +13 volt wire from the +Battery input to...

Hi I have ELK setup and about to add cameras for RM monitoring. Before I buy some of the (older) ones on the supported list, I just wanted to check if there were any imminent updates which would affect my purchase eg.. 1) MPEG4 support 2) Additions to supported camera list 3) Availability of...

Given the specialist area and the functionality this designer appears to provide I dont think the price is unreasonable (although as an end user I would always appreciate a lower price). It is a good point on the Appstore - I think ELK should consider giving it away (or at a slight price...

The release documentation suggests that full customisation can be applied to the RMS winCE version (ie no limitations compared to the PC version). Would be good to have this confirmed too. (I hope ELK can ship to the UK - or provide mechanism to download purchased code) Regards Jim

Thanks - had just been looking at the RM page - didnt realise it would be a separate product. Looks good

I downloaded the 2.0.2 release and while its got nice additions (weather status), I dont see graphic customisation. I dont have full version (as Im waiting to see this designer functionality), so maybe its part of the demo restrictions. Can anyone clarify Regards Jim

Im not on any beta program so dont know if theres progress on this - is it getting close to release? I didnt get to EHX show (as Im in UK), so didnt get chance to see capabilities Cheers

any outlook?

"MPEG4 protocol IP cameras do not have drivers yet. " I realise the difficulties in commenting on future feature/function enhancements, but does this indicate that there is an intention to expand the support to include mpeg4 camera's (this year?) Regards Jim

Im also starting a project which is based on ELKM1, but for lighting Im using Lutron Grafikeye's, which are then controlled by the M1 for any "whole home" capabilities. Also for AV, Im planning on using mediacenter, with multiple xbox360's as media extenders. This will also by whole home audio...

In the context of someone looking at a netbook device then yes its slow - in the context of a home control pad (running CE to support RMS), then I think its ideal - Homeseer seem to think so http://store.homeseer.com/store/7-Inch-Wir...n-P637C118.aspx It only went through FCC approval in Dec...

Hi, Dont know about ELK's plans, but Im waiting for this device http://www.albatron.com.tw/English/product.../pro_detail.asp planning to run RMS with Mirage running from browser (to access media center & multiple Xbox360 media extenders to provide whole home AV) http://www.autonomichome.com/...
